[quote=Anonymous]While it has sometimes been a little bit daunting to be in an intercultural relationship (explaining cultural norms as they relate to ideas around manners, money, social graces, food, ideas about education and work), it has been wonderful also.

We both have benefited from wider understanding of each other and people in general, realizing while there are many cultural differences in people, at the core when people (individuals as well as their families) love each other, a lot can be smoothed over.

I think for us it was helped by each side of the family being socially progressive with similar world views and educational levels, and being pretty close socio-economically.

I feel like with any marriage, there are hurdles to overcome. Sometimes for intercultural couples it's that very fact and sometimes they have no more headwind than any other couple.

Being intercultural has been both hard for our kids when they were younger and found themselves explaining "where they were from" but ultimately I think something they are proud of and appreciative of. [/quote]
